perf tools: display the new PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA event

2025-06-20T21:48:56+00:00

Here's some example "perf script -D" output for the new event type. The ": unhandled!" message is from tool.c, analogous to other behavior there. I've elided some rows with all NUL characters for brevity, and I wrapped one of the >75-column lines to fit in the commit guidelines. 0x50fc8@perf.data [0x260]: event: 84 . . ... raw event: size 608 bytes . 0000: 54 00 00 00 00 00 60 02 62 70 66 5f 70 72 6f 67 T.....`.bpf_prog . 0010: 5f 31 65 30 61 32 65 33 36 36 65 35 36 66 31 61 _1e0a2e366e56f1a . 0020: 32 5f 70 65 72 66 5f 73 61 6d 70 6c 65 5f 66 69 2_perf_sample_fi . 0030: 6c 74 65 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 lter............ . 0040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

perf record: Use perf_tool__init()

perf tool: Move fill defaults into tool.c

2024-08-12T21:05:39+00:00

The aim here is to eventually make perf_tool__fill_defaults() an init function so that the tools struct is more const. Create a tool.c to go along with tool.h. Move perf_tool__fill_defaults() out of session.c into tool.c along with the default stub values. Add perf_tool__compressed_is_stub() for a test in perf_session__process_user_event(). perf_session__process_compressed_event() is only used from being default initialized so migrate into tool.c.

perf tool: Constify tool pointers

2024-08-12T21:05:14+00:00

The tool pointer (to a struct largely of function pointers) is passed around but is unchanged except at initialization. Change parameter and variable types to be const to lower the possibilities of what could happen with a tool.

perf inject: Fix leader sampling inserting additional samples

2024-08-12T21:04:35+00:00

The processing of leader samples would turn an individual sample with a group of read values into multiple samples. 'perf inject' would pass through the additional samples increasing the output data file size: $ perf record -g -e "{instructions,cycles}:S" -o perf.orig.data true $ perf script -D -i perf.orig.data | sed -e 's/perf.orig.data/perf.data/g' > orig.txt $ perf inject -i perf.orig.data -o perf.new.data $ perf script -D -i perf.new.data | sed -e 's/perf.new.data/perf.data/g' > new.txt $ diff -u orig.txt new.txt --- orig.txt 2024-07-29 14:29:40.606576769 -0700 +++ new.txt 2024-07-29 14:30:04.142737434 -0700 ... -0xc550@perf.data [0x30]: event: 3 +0xc550@perf.data [0xd0]: event: 9 +. +. ... raw event: size 208 bytes +. 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 d0 00 fc 72 01 86 ff ff ff ff .........r...... +. 0010: 74 7d 2c 00 74 7d 2c 00 fb c3 79 f9 ba d5 05 00 t},.t},...y..... +. 0020: e6 cb 1a 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ +. 0030: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........v....... +. 0040: e6 cb 1a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ +. 0050: 62 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 f6 cb 1a 00 00 00 00 00 b............... +. 0060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ +. 0070: 80 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff fc 72 01 86 ff ff ff ff .........r...... +. 0080: f3 0e 6e 85 ff ff ff ff 0c cb 7f 85 ff ff ff ff ..n............. +. 0090: bc f2 87 85 ff ff ff ff 44 af 7f 85 ff ff ff ff ........D....... +. 00a0: bd be 7f 85 ff ff ff ff 26 d0 7f 85 ff ff ff ff ........&....... +. 00b0: 6d a4 ff 85 ff ff ff ff ea 00 20 86 ff ff ff ff m......... ..... +. 00c0: 00 fe ff ff ff ff ff ff 57 14 4f 43 fc 7e 00 00 ........W.OC.~.. + +1642373909693435 0xc550 [0xd0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x1): 2915700/2915700: 0xffffffff860172fc period: 1 addr: 0 +...

This behavior is incorrect as in the case above 'perf inject' should have done nothing. Fix this behavior by disabling separating samples for a tool that requests it. Only request this for `perf inject` so as to not affect other perf tools. With the patch and the test above there are no differences between the orig.txt and new.txt.

perf record: Add finished init event

In preparation for recording sideband events in a virtual machine guest so that they can be injected into a host perf.data file. This is needed to enable injecting events after the initial synthesized user events (that have an all zero id sample) but before regular events.
